Display Comparison
Neither device's display specifications are provided, so we must infer. Given the Soul X7 Pro's positioning, it likely features a 720p or 1080p IPS LCD. The Edge 20 Fusion, being a more recent model, likely boasts a 1080p AMOLED display with a higher refresh rate (potentially 90Hz). The AMOLED panel on the Fusion would offer superior contrast and color accuracy, while the higher refresh rate would translate to smoother scrolling and animations. The absence of display specs for the Soul X7 Pro suggests a cost-cutting approach.
Camera Comparison
Without detailed camera specs, a direct comparison is difficult. However, the Edge 20 Fusion, positioned as a more modern device, likely features a more advanced camera system with a larger main sensor and improved image processing. The Snapdragon 630’s ISP is older and less capable than the Dimensity 800U’s, impacting image quality, especially in low-light conditions. The inclusion of Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) on the Fusion, a common feature in its price range, would further enhance image clarity and reduce blur.
Performance
The core difference lies in the chipsets. The Motorola Edge 20 Fusion’s Mediatek Dimensity 800U, built on a 7nm process, is a substantial upgrade over the Allview Soul X7 Pro’s Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 (14nm). The Dimensity 800U’s Cortex-A76 cores (2x2.4 GHz) provide significantly more processing power than the Snapdragon 630’s Cortex-A53 cores (4x2.2 GHz). This translates to faster app loading times, smoother multitasking, and a better gaming experience. The 7nm process also contributes to improved thermal efficiency, reducing the likelihood of throttling under sustained load. The Edge 20 Fusion also benefits from 5G connectivity, absent in the Soul X7 Pro.
Battery Life
The Allview Soul X7 Pro’s 18W charging is considerably slower than the Motorola Edge 20 Fusion’s 30W charging. While battery capacity isn’t specified for either device, the faster charging on the Fusion allows for quicker top-ups, mitigating any potential disadvantage from a smaller battery. A full charge on the Fusion could take around 60-75 minutes, while the Soul X7 Pro would likely require over 2 hours.
Buying Guide
Buy the Allview Soul X7 Pro if you need a basic, reliable smartphone for everyday tasks like calling, texting, and light social media use, and your budget is extremely limited. Buy the Motorola Edge 20 Fusion if you prioritize smoother multitasking, gaming, 5G connectivity, and faster charging, and are willing to spend a bit more for a more capable device.
